How to prepare and store your motorcycle for winter

How to prepare and store your motorcycle for winter

In this video, I share my top tips and show you what I do to my bike to protect it from the elements so that you can do the same to your bike too. I'll also share my tips and advice for storing your motorcycle over the winter.

In the UK, January and February is usually the time when most bikers put their motorcycles into hibernation. Before I do the same I'm going to transform my dirty Triumph Speed Triple into a bike that looks like it had just left the showroom floor.

I'll take you through step-by-step how to clean your motorcycle before applying ACF-50 to protect it for the winter, even if you don't plan to ride your bike until the warmer weather has arrived and explain what else you should do to your bike during the winter months.
